yea, i've see that aswell...i had to clean up the uncle's computer. His AVG was running and scanning and wouldn't find anything...plugged in his HDD as a slave and scanned with AVAST and found ~6 viruses...i know that thats pretty common (ie, different antivirus programs pick up different sets of viruses...) but it fits with my experiance
